[QUOTE="KJFSophie, post: 1214861, member: 77427"] Best piece of advice I received was from a sports physical therapist...the trick is to not put blunt pressure on your knees to begin with . We tend to lock our knees in place to brace for a decent, akin to planting a stump on the pavement. This jars the joint. The idea behind reducing knee pain in decent is to pay attention to loose knees, soft landings. Make sure to bend at the knees, lift knees higher than in a usual flat terrain gait. Think 'walking like a stork' or similar tall bird. Worst knee pain of my life on my first camino (CF) and non issue once I trained myself this way on the next 7. Worth a shot...it's free! [/QUOTE]
